Hi, readers welcome to the new post. In this post, we will learn Introduction to LM7806. This module exists in the form of a series the components of that series have different values of output volts. It also gives the six volts DC according to the input range of eight to twenty-five volts.
In this post, we will learn different parameters of these voltage regulators such as pinout, working, applications, and features. So let’s get started.
What is LM7806 voltage regulator
- LM7806 is a voltage regulator integrated circuit that offers a fixed regulated output value of 6V DC for different input ranges of 8 to 25V DC. it also offers one ampere to 1.5A output current.
- Collector input current is about 35V DC and less input to get stable 6volts for output about 8 volts since IC needed 2Volt higher than 6V output.
- During operation, it produces heat so the heatsink is connected.
- It also comes with some different features such as an overheating shutdown function, overloading features, and short circuit protection so best to use for different equipment.
LM7806 Pinout
- Pin1: positive i/p voltage pin.
- Pin2: ground pin.
- Pin3:Â positive o/p voltage pin.
LM7806 Features
- its input voltage value is 8V to 25V
- Output voltages are 5.75V(min) to 6.25V(max)
- Output curent is about1A~1.5A
- its peak current is about 2.2 ampere
- The operating temperature is 0 to +125 C
- It has a positive polarity
- it comes in TO-220 Package
- It also has an overheating protection circuit
- is input voltage handling feature is 35V DC.
- it has a built-in Short Circuit Protection Function
LM7806 6V DC Power Supply Circuit
here have made a circuit of the DC power supply with the use of LM7806 where at input terminals 8V to 35V DC is connected. The voltatge applied for passes through regulated 7806 that makes output at 6-volt value DC.
In this circuit, two capacitors of 330nF and 100nF were used for input impedance and for stable output voltage. These capacitors are ceramic types that provide fast operation as compared to electrolytic capacitors.

LM7806 Project Manufacturing
- LM7806 is very commonly employed in different types of engineering projects and devices that work on six volts. It has a very basic module of different categories of components that needed a fixed value of volts.
- Either this module has fixed output but comes with the variable value of input and provides the same value of the result.
- If you are new to electronics and have less knowledge of electronics and how to handle these modules. I will recommend a master of the electronics industry related to PCBs that is very commonly used in every electronic device and project.
- That PCB manufacturer is PCBWAY. They have a competent team of engineers and technicians that helps to make the complete projects from start to bottom.
- With that also offered a sponsorship program for such students who cannot fulfill the requirements of projects.
- PCBWAY is a high-level manufacturing and prototyping services provider. They never compromise the quality of projects such as final projects undergo different types of tests before sending them to users.
- They come with the different types of inspection techniques that X-ray inspection also offers.
- Their online services are the best option to make the idea of your boards mean how much cost will you bear for this you just have to send some details and their high-level software tools will send you all the details that you need.
How to Safely Long Run in a Circuit
For longer working of LM7806 IC in circuits use a proper working heatsink and not be high input voltage value from 35VDC and connect load of more than 1.5Ampere
The working temperature condition must be in the range of b 0 centigrade and to +125 centigrade and always store in temperature between -65 to +150 centigrade.
LM7806 regulators Advantages
- Its output current is about 125ampers.
- It is time base base-rated regulator
- it comes with a high-reliability structure and fault current detection
- it comes with a simple interface for easy operation
- it has local on-card regulation and reduces error causes by single-point regulation.
- It has low noise and gets low spaces
LM7806 regulators Applications
- LM7806 comes to use generators, forklifts welding machines,
- it is also used for wheelchairs and auto rear door openers.
- it is used in LED light fixtures, RF power LED, and GST meters.
- It is used for solar electric lighting.
- It is used for motor drivers, battery chargers, power supply, and solar power systems for voltage control
What is the purpose of a voltage regulator?
- Voltatge regulators are electronic devices that provide the voltage of power supply in the accepted range. The voltage regulator is required for keeping a defined range of voltage that can be affected with the use of electrical equipment using that voltage.
What is meant by LM317 voltage regulator?
- LM317 is a variable 3 pin positive voltage regulator that has features to provide 1.5ampere for a voltage range of 1.2 V to 37 V at output.
- This voltage regulator is easy to use and needs two external resistors to set output voltage
What is the difference between LM7805 and LM7806 regulators?
- It is 3-terminal regulator tube and is important for reducing blood pressure. Normally input voltage is 2V higher than the output voltage. LM7805 is five volt regulated output and LM7806 is a 6V-regulated output.
LM317 or LM7806 adjust 6V voltage which is better?
- LM7806 has fewer components and high reliable and LM317 is used for adjustable circuits
